ZIP code 47435

ZIP 47435 is a very small community in Brown County, Indiana, with 129 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #739 of 807 ranked by population — larger than 8% of them. The median age here is 68.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 47435 is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 100% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

A median age of 68.8 puts ZIP 47435 well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages.

The Census withheld household income, home value, gross rent for ZIP 47435 because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography.

County assignment on this page follows the largest share of the ZIP's land area, which matters where a delivery route crosses a county line: mail addressed to 47435 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

Indiana charges 7% statewide, and no local sales tax is layered on top, so the state rate is the full amount collected in 47435.

Everything above comes from the Census Bureau American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates for this ZIP Code Tabulation Area, with sales tax rates traced to the state revenue agency. Five-year estimates pool sixty months of responses, so they are stable enough to compare 47435 with its neighbours but always trail the current year, and any value the Census suppressed for sample size is shown as unpublished rather than filled in with a model.
